Hello I'm still pretty new to Magic and I would like to know what people think of my Bant deck. I based it around getting the 5 different swords out which is pretty cool if I get it going. If you know anything you would think would be cool to add I would love to hear from you. Thanks.
Puresteel Paladin this guy is only really good if you are pealing equipment left and right. You only had like 8 equipment in the deck so I would be surprised if he gave you a single card in a game. He is too situational and I dont really see the benefit of drawing tons of cards avalible in your list. I would cut him for something else.
Clone -> Phyrexian Metamorph this gives you a more versatile clone option. You can copy your swords or someone else's Sol Ring on turn 3. It is just better altogether in my mind.
Jace Beleren he is the worst of your planeswalkers by far. Planeswalkers can be a huge pain in the ass to protect and I just dont see him worth portecting. Perhaps just insert another draw effect such as Consecrated Sphinx which is not in your list.
Snap this is a good card in the right list but I dont see it being that valuable in this list. If you really like bounce perhaps it could be a Into the Roil or Recoil??? Venser, Shaper Savant is another decent option as well.
Day of Judgment again a bit underwhelming. At the very least change it to Wrath of God to disable regen options but I would probably consider a different wrath check the above comments for other wrath options.
Revoke Existence -> Return to Dust this gives you instant speed option and if you do it as a sorcery you get to pick up 2 targets.
Time Reversal -> Fact or Fiction you are running blue so whenever possible I like not giving opponents new cards. The one exception would be if someone is sculpting their hand a lot with tutors but beyond that dont give opponents cards in blue.
Journey To Nowhere -> Swords to Plowshares increase your removal from sorcery speed and it can possibly be undone later to instant speed for less mana. A bit of life to your opponent almost never matters in the long run.
Swiftfoot Boots -> Lightning Greaves better boots less to equip. If you need to target them yourself then move the boots arround, and do what you need to do. Free equip is a huge perc though.
Cryptic Command my big issue is the UUU casting cost here. Your mana base sucks and I wouldnt even really consider running this spell due to its heavy mana cost and I have a much better mana base than you do.

Phyrexian Rebirth I have a hard time backing this wrath effect. Options I personally think are better would be like Hallowed Burial, Austere Command, Final Judgment, Rout, and possibly some of the artifact sweeper ones like Akroma's Vengeance or Oblivion Stone.
Day of Judgment again a bit underwhelming. At the very least change it to Wrath of God to disable regen options but I would probably consider a different wrath check the above comments for other wrath options.

COULD USE
Path to Exile more instant speed removal.
Karmic Guide another good rez option.
Academy Ruins it gives another option to rez your swords if they die.
Bribery amazing theft spell.
